Some of you gear heads probably already know about this. I thought I would give it a try in my wife's 2001 Ford Expedition with 82,000 miles on it. I will let you know what I think. It is not cheap at 7.29 a qt. There a lot of benefits to using it. My dad sent me some info on them, as he is an ex-drag racer, and stays up on the latest on cars. So I thought I would pass this along.
Royal Purple Consumer Products
I used to use Mobil 1 Synthetic oil. It is like a 1.50 a qt cheaper. You can go longer with the Royal Purple as well. Just have to drop the oil, and change the oil filter, and put the oil back in if you like. I go with the K&N oil filter as well.

Bro I used to think Mobil 1 was the stuff. My dad told me that Royal Purple challenged Mobil 1 in a dyno test. The only thing is Mobil 1 had to go first, because they didn't want to coat the engine first with there oil. Mobil 1 declined to do the test.

How often do you change the oil Brother John?
I know it is REDICULOUS to try to get rid of oil you have changed yourself here in the Desert. Used to be Pep-boys would help, but they are now declining to do so.Fin Fan In Cali likes this. -
My dad was saying if you change the oil filter and put the oil back in, that they say you could go up to 12,000 miles between changes. I have to run 5-20 in my wifes car so I won't go that long.

Try Kragen's or Auto Zone. I really don't go to Pep Boy's anymore.

Dont have Kragen's here, Auto Zone is right down the street, and they have never accepted Oil (this particular one that is).
I think it is a regional thing and the water-shed here is really bad (SHouldnt matter but I think it does).
I will look into this more. Thanks for the insight brother. Hope all is good with you :ffic:Fin Fan In Cali likes this. -

Yes Joe, go the link that I put there, and read all the info on it.:up:

I've used Mobil 1 since it came out many years ago, but since they made it only part synth I went to Pennzoil Platinum all-synthetic.
I'll check this out, though; especially if there's savings to be had!Fin Fan In Cali likes this. -
If anyone is interested, if you shop on the internet you can find it cheaper, and some places offer free shipping as well.:up:

I don't know bro...I've been getting mine at local auto parts stores for WAY cheaper than I see online. I get a case for like $80.Fin Fan In Cali likes this.

Auto Zone Joe. They have a card program. When you visit 5 times and spend 20.00, you get a 20.00 credit.
-
I saw it as low as 6.49 a qt. which is just a smidge cheaper then you bro.

Joe go to the link above, they will show retailers in your area.:up:

Bro which brand of oil filter do you use?
-
LOL...bro, for 4 bucks I'd rather just go to the store and get it. :tongue2:
That's not bad for an online price though.

Well I put this in my wife's expedition as I said, and the gas mileage seems to be a lot better. I have put this in my little puddle jumper yesterday.:wink2:
